My Thoughts
The Art of Surrendering to Life's Turning Points
Life flows like water, carrying us through unexpected turns that we often fight against. After decades of battling life's inevitable turning points only to watch them unfold anyway, I discovered a powerful truth: surrendering to life's natural flow isn't giving up—it's freedom. When we release our grip on outcomes and expectations, we find an inner peace that transforms how we experience life's unavoidable transitions.
The Quiet Power of Waiting
I’ve noticed something weird after 14+ years working with thousands of customers all around the world — behind every real achievement lurks this thing we never talk about: waiting. Like, actually waiting. Not the sexy part of success stories, right? We’re obsessed with hustle culture, 5-step formulas, and productivity hacks (guilty as charged; I’ve bought 17 planners in my lifetime).
Joy Is Found In What You Truly Enjoy
Many people reach adulthood without really knowing what brings them joy. Time spent without this knowledge means lost opportunities for real happiness. Studies show people who consciously do things they enjoy score 40% higher on the happiness scale than those who don’t. We chase success, relationships and material possessions but often forget to identify what truly brings us happiness.
From Control Freak to Faith: A Work in Progress
A Turkish Instagram post made me realize my control patterns. The post outlined three common struggles: doubt in divine timing, fear of history repeating, and overexertion of control. Social media sometimes delivers profound wisdom in bite-sized chunks. This post changed my understanding of surrender. Modern platforms bring ancient wisdom to new audiences.
Being Present is a Daily Practice
The human brain goes into present-moment awareness during life-threatening situations. The amygdala releases cortisol and adrenaline and we focus completely on immediate survival. We can access deep presence when needed – your brain does this during car accidents, natural disasters, or physical threats. This biological response has been with us for millions of years as a survival mechanism. Research shows these heightened states of awareness increase reaction time by up to 50%.
Less is More: The Power of a Single-Focus Vision Board
Vision boards often become a dumping ground for every desire. Research shows 92% of people who create vision boards achieve less than 20% of their visualized goals. Most vision boards contain 15-20 items, spreading attention too thin across multiple targets. The human brain processes focused, singular goals 3x more effectively than multiple competing objectives.
